Sick of the "NO TRUCKS" signs

[crane operator]

Every time I need to turn around, or park big equipment somewhere, and I spot a nice parking lot, there's one of those signs. NO TRUCKS

Where else am I supposed to turn around?

Anyways, I've got this new little sign fixing machine loaded up on my truck, no one has told me "you can't park here" since I've gotten it. I'm taking it with me everywhere from now on.

Genius. I'm sure that would work too for those who cut you off on the road. A swinging hook works well too, however

That’ll do the trick! Need some Roman candles and a remote way to light them....people would soil their britches!

In many areas those signs popped up after the E-Log came into effect. Out of hours and they have to park, so anyplace became a camping spot. By 7:00 p.m. in the N.W. most rest areas are full.
And most on and off ramps become the end of the line for the day. If you look at most wide spots and ramp areas there are also plastic gallon jugs full of pi$$ laying about. Nice huh.

You're exempt from their sign.... it's a cab-over

Heavy stuff is tough on pavement. I wouldn't want you in a parking lot I had the expense of maintaining.

Yeah weight is a killer, but so is drivers that think they can turn around in a 'car' area!!! they wipe out all kinds of things... curbs, planters, signs, trees,light poles, bollards... the list goes on and on we get called to fix these kinds of things every week.

^^^^^x2

 

[just do it]

sounds like job security to you who have to do the repairs.I drove trucks for 44 years allot guys out there now do not know the term drive means they are called cab occupiers they do not even call them steering wheel holders anymore!and allot of them can not back one up.Have you ever seen the carnage they cause at a truck stop or distribution center! Oh! that is wright you get called to fix that stuff to bad you do not do onsite trailer repairs for ones that are dropped.

 

[Ronsii]

Job security is right!!!! we maintain a few dozen distribution centers and there is a non-stop flow of work from trucks and cars it wouldn't be too bad if they'd just hit new stuff... but fixing the same things over and over again gets old Have straightened out a few trucks/trailers also it';s kind of interesting when a trailer runs over a 900 pound landscape rock and gets it stuck under the rear wheels while dragging it into the middle of a main road!!!

Here is one that just got upsized to a 5000 pound rock!!! every bollard that was planted here has been wiped out within a week and there is so much stuff underground it limits just what you can do .... so hopefully the 'drivers' will avoid a bigger rock.... but I doubt it

Yeah my finger wanted to be in the pic also... who am I to say no.

 

[just do it]

Ouch!!!can not fix stupid! looks like a new sign is needed.can not think of one,they probably knock it down

Not to be negative but as long as the rock is smaller than the truck I'm not taking any bets on that one!

The handicapped curb cut is just too tempting for the truckers. Makes them remember their skateboarding days.

30 years ago I replaced bollards with rocks too. They're still there. (about the same size as yours)

Eleven years ago we had a driver that hit a 6" x 4' guard post and a ecology block at a DC. When the truck made it to the shop I took one look and knew something went sideways and haywire.
The previous owner owned the company at the time and believed the horse sh!t story the driver told. My assumption was the driver had a nervous break down/mental collapse. There was no way the
kind of damage done to the truck was not on purpose. The boss thought I was way off base. Well come to find out three weeks later he definitely had a melt down.
